Anyone who is having troubles should pray. ... When a believing person prays, great things happen. -James 5:13,16 NCV

Through Deep Waters

Isaiah 43:2 (NLT)

“When you go through deep
waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will
not drown…..”

Father, your ancient promise to Israel is true for
all who trust in you. Your promise: “I
will be with you,” is as comforting and reassuring today as it was to them
then. So I pray for those suffering now the massive effects of Hurricane Harvey
and the overwhelming flood waters that have inundated them, I pray that your
peace will calm their weary hearts and your grace will sustain them in the
weeks, months and even years of recovery.

Father I pray they will take hope and courage in
your faithful word:“Do not be afraid or
discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you;
he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:8 (NLT)

Father grant them the great confidence of your presence
with them. And thank you for faithfully fulfilling you precious promises.

about prayer

Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is happy should sing praises. Anyone who is sick should call the church's elders. They should pray for and pour oil on the person in the name of the Lord. And the prayer that is said with faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will heal that person. And if the person has sinned, the sins will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you. When a believing person prays, great things happen. (James 5:13-16 NCV)
